Picked up 2- 3.5 lb Corned Brisket flats. Polled like points do to the thickness. One went in freezer the other was soaked for 22 hrs and had the water changed 3 times

Put on thirdeye's pastrami rub and wrapped it and put it in fridge overnight

Put on Egg the next day with lump and pecan. Don't get the Canadian Maple lump. Burns really hot. Had a hard time controlling temp. Wanted to cook at 225 and cooked at over 300. When it reached 165 I placed it in an aluminum pan raised on aluminum balls. Chopped up 2 garlic cloves and added a bottle of Sam Adams Boston Lager. Cooked till 300 and took it off

Sliced a piece after an hour and wrapped and put in fridge

Two days later used my sclicer

Most of it was divided and frozen in vac seal bags. Kay offered to make me a Reuben if I got the krout. Seemed like a good deal. A Pastrami Reuben with home mad thousand island dressing Swiss cheese krout on good rue bread. YUM

And beverage

It was Gooood
Very Happy
 
Now THAT is a happy meal, George! You pretty much follow the same method as I do. Have you tried steaming the slices before they go on the sammich?
 
Have not tried steaming Moose. Will definitely try that. Thanks

George,

Some of the tutorials recommend steaming the whole cooked pastrami before slicing, but there's no way you can get super thin slices this way. We put ours in the fridge overnight after it's cooled down from the smoker, then the following day, slice it cold, then steam the slices. It heats nice and evenly, and stays super moist.
 
Moose what do you do to steam yours

We use one of those folding metal baskets you put in a pot with hot water in it. The wider the pot, the more surface area you have for the meat. Only takes a few minutes.
